Columbus underestimated the worlds size and calculated that east Asia must be approximately where North America is on right now. They didn't know the Pacific Ocean even existed. He thought he was taking a route to Asia, and thought he had landed in India, which he called the native Indians.

For a shorter answer it was because most of Europe did not know the Americas existed..

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1)By "cargo," Diamond felt that Yali meant "material goods, the trappings of technology, "ranging from steel axes, matches, and medicines to clothing, soft drinks, and umbrellas." He saw it as a discussion of the lack of equality in the world and a question of why development occurred at such different rates in different places.

2) Errington and Gewertz believed that Diamond misunderstood Yali's question about cargo because he interpreted it to be a question about technology and goods. However, Errington and Gewertz believed that what Yali really meant about it, was a question about relationships and social structure.

What were some of the positive and negative consequences of the columbian exchange
Alex777 [14]

The Columbian Exchange had positive and negative consequences.

Some of the positive consequences were the introduction of different nutrients and food supplies into the Old World, such as corn or potatoes. This improved the diet of most Europeans, leading to a population growth in the next generations.

However, Europe benefited more than the Americas, for some of the negative consequences about the Columbian Exchange were the introduction of diseases into the continent and the slavery of African populations into the Americas.

In a paragraph explain andrew jacksons presidentcy
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Andrew Jackson was one of the most powerful and influential presidents of the nineteenth century. Jackson implemented polices that profoundly affected the territorial, political, and economic development of the united states. He organized the relocation of more than 90,000 indians from the eastern united states to territories west of the Mississippi River. He strengthened the union by rejecting South Carolina's claim that it possessed the authority to nullify federal laws. AND he destroyed the bank of the united states, leaving the nation without a central bank capable of monitoring the nations money supply. He was considered the common mans president. He was also involved in many duels.
